' There has been considerable kicking about the present assoss i6nt law and seme fellows are anxious for tho re enactment of t he mortgage tax law. The comparison published in last week's Anors is the only argument we "enre to pro duce in fa vor of the present u eess ment law.

The little patent medicine wrapper published over near the mouth of Gales Creek is getting ac rimonious in its dotard thoughts. Tiik Aimrsand Independent have each had nothing but good words for our sisier town Forest Grove' in tho pist, and we hope to continue the same kindly feelings one to ward the other. But it will not do for tho acephalous body to say naughty things about a body hav ing a head. A head is necessary and it should be properly located. There have been many inouthings from the mouth of Gales Creek. And of course located as he is the editor of the aforesaid wrapper has observed that the mouth of the creek is larger than the head he has imagined that Forest Grove was larger than Hillsboro because ILIlsboro is iho head and he want ed the Times U be the mouth piece. Last Thur'sday to late for last weeks Auutw wo received intelli gence of an accident that befell Henry Kemni, that morning. Mr. Kemni who lives on the 1 M. Ed wards place south of Hillsboro was riding or. horse back alongside of another gentleman, when sudden ly, without warning, his compan ions horse kicked viciously, struck Mr. Kemni's right leg a short dis tance below the knee-cap in flicting a round more than two inches in length cutting through to tho bone, lie was taken to the Pharmacy where a surgeon dressed the wound. The doctor says in all his experience with cuts and bruises from kicks this was the largest gash cut in tissue hejiad ever witnessed, it required five stitches to close the wound. The liorse was na retooled inni nu me kicking. Mr. Kemni is reported us doing nicely. A. S. Dudley living north of CenteiVllo has one of the best water-power roller process, flouring mills in Washington county. The Orient Roller Mills are located on Dairy Creek a short distance west of Columbia Academy. The mills have gained a reputation for first class work. Mr. Dudley being a practical miller superintends his own mill, and looking after the business generally he alvvajs does his best to please his many custo mers. He is able to turn out bet ter work for less money than when steam power is used and lured help depended Upon. A drive out through North Pla'ns last Saturday was very pleasant barring the dust, but it would not bo barred by robe or duster. The harvest is nearly over and tho threshing is well un der way. Wu noticed very many new granertes which indicate that the farmers arc going to stoie their grain for better markets or" feed it to stock which will bring more money than the raw material. This is a step in tho right direction. Wheat is worth sixty cents to feed hogs when bacon is worth from 12J to 18 cents per pound. Beaverdam or Tualatin bottom fanners come in for a large share of annoyance and misfortune this year.

Dr. Clark Smith dressed the wound it required eleven stitches to close it.

One of bis brothers was tinkering with the revolver, while Albert wfts standing in front of it, and it accidentally went off. Dr. Linklater was called and cut the ball out of the instep. The Ikiv it doing nicely and will recover the use of his foot . Tuesday morning is tho Water and light man Mr. Singer opened the tap in front of leaser's Saloon on Second street two ladies turned the corner at the Hillsboro House with a light single horse rig. When they had proceeded but a short dis tance the horse took fright, at the torrent of watter flowing from the tap, wheeled and ran, in turning round so sudenly one of the ladies was thrown from the vehicle the hind wheel passed over her pros trate form. Shejumped up, laughed and they boih drove away before wo could learn, the names of either of the ladies. A consolidation in the black smithing business took place a short time ago at Correlius, and the Cornelius Bla ;ksmith Company was organized with our old time friend A. S Hatch as business manager, and Louis Weidewich fore man. We have been acquainted with these gentlemen who have the work in charge They are each first class workmen. We knew Mr. Hatch in Nebraska a good many years age. He is an old time dem ocrat and a good advertiser. The little town of Cornelius seems to be doing remarkably well this sea son, ami her citizens may congrat ulate themselves that they have two of the best iron and wood work ers in the state of Oregon. AH work entrusted to the Cornelius Itlacksmilh Camimnv will receive prompt attention and satisfaction is ga u ran teed. One of the (ioest residences now in course of construction in the valley is that of Thos. Talbott at Cornelius. The main part of the building is 22 x 2S feet with an ell 22 x 1( feet both two stories high, also an ell in the rear 14x 22 one and one half stories high. The lower itory is twelve feet in the clear while the upper story is ten feet in the clear. The house when finished will present much the same appearance as the residence of James Morgan in this city except that a Queen Anne ludow will be placed in tho corner of the parlor between two Dorches instead of one porch extending around ihe two front sines of the building. 'I here will be a 54 x, 75 inch French Plate glass in the, wi.ndow.. The"' parlor and hall, .are., to, be finished with silver pine, while the sitting room and bed rooms aie to be finished with California redwood. Joseph Allison has charge of the construc tion and Ihe finishing material is ln'ing furnished by the Cornelius sash and door factory. About, three weeks ago we had the pleasure of visiting tlie south ern part of this county and we are free to confess that two years has wrought a wonderful transformat ion. New Houses and barns have been erected, new fields with broad acres have been cleared. Lumber ing and wood cutting seems to have been the principle industry hereto fore, but as the farms are opened up new industries are being started and pushed to perfection. Last winter articles of incorporation were filed for the organization of a pickl ing and preserving works with a stock capital of $5000. The stock was subscribed mostly by farmers who reside in that locality. The works are located at Middlcton. ThcbuildiiiL' is 55 by 70 feet one story and basement. Imagine our surpise when we stepped in to find tons and tons of cucumbers ready for pickling and hundreds of bar rels all ready in pickle, Ihr pick ling season hart , then just opened, and befoie the season is over many hundreds of barrels the finest cu cumber pickles ever put up will be ready for the market. Then a large amount of Cauliflower and cabbage will be preserved. The former pickled and tho latter made into sourkrout such as only Mr. Winters and Commisioner Keasonor know how to make. The "Germ in pickle" put up by this firm is the best ever put up in this county. A cooper shop is in connection and the kegs, firkins, barrels and huge tanks are there manufactured from native lumber obtained from the forests near by. A good price iB paid for pickles and a neat little sum will be realized from the sale of cucumbers, cabbage and cauli flower. In all about 160 acres of these vegtables have been planted and are beinjr successfully harves ted and preserved. J. I. Knight of this place, Peter P. Gates of Lafayette Geo. Moore and Dr. Mashaw of McMlnnville, were out in the coast range hunting and camped on the Salmon Berry, about thirty six miles west of For est Grove. About two o'clock yes terday morning they were startled from their slumbers by a tree fall ing against another, they sprang to their feet and started to run just as another tree fell directly ocross the place w here they bad been sleeping and buried itself in the ground. As (bey started to run. Mr. Gates stumbled and fell and before- he (ould regain his feet a falling limb struck him on the bead killin? him instantly. Tho others escaped with out injury although portions of the tree fell on their bed. J. I. Knight came down on the lour o clock and returned on the evening train j to McMinnvil'e. A party of men j from this place and Forest Grove j have gone out alter the body. Hon.' P. P. Gates was well and favorably! known throughout the Willamette valley, having represented Yamhill county in the state senate for sev eral years. We are unable to learn more of the particulars of the casu ally. A little more thru a week ago some boys were down at the creek northwest of town and kindled a lire. The fire spread and burned a condsiderable amonut of fence for Thos. Council; and is still raging in the timber northwest of town. The town is filed with soinke day and night, and the property in the vicinty of the timber is in constant i i .ill I danger.

The following is the report of a com- ;, mittee appointed to investigate the ques tion of Hedge Fences in Oregon, a plan ted and cared for by the Oregon Hedge Fence Company: Agent9 of the Oregon HedgeCcmpany were lately in our settlement, making very enticing statements in regard to the Osage Orange Fences, as planted and raised hv them. Representing onr large community, we went out last week and inspected, first, an Osage Fence planted at Dairy, Folk county , some sixteen year ago and grown wild since. Last spring the Company took it in hand, trimnMtt both root and stnlks, which ther in clined at an angle of 45 drgees and aol idly wired. The result is that the here tofore obnoxious brush has become in-, six months' time, both a solid fence and beautiful hedge. - ,- F'rom Dairy we went over Ho Salem, where we took a glance at the beautiful state buildings: nnd then drove out to see another old Osage Feace, planted al most thirty years ago.' tast fall it bad been given in charge of the Oregon Fence Company, and it is giving to the owner now the satisfaction afforded by the one at Dairy. It was, however, our special intention to take a (rood look at ma i newy planted hedges, to see what we troui tne company's cinues.

Of the latter setting only forty-five plants have been killed by the unusual droughts of this season, while the others have grown from eight to sixteen inches, notwithstanding the poverty of the soil, which consists of mere gravel than loam, yet the advan tages of fall planting wer evidenced by the rank growth of the former hedge, that, as an average, isovertwo feet high, ' and without any dead plants. We are of the opinion that the Com pany's live fence will prpve a complete success and that, after three years' '. growth, they will turn pigsand all kinds, of stock; in fact, that they will fully be? as represented by the Company's agents. After having noticed how the roots are trimmed and cared for, we further think that there is no danger of their sprout ing forth are becoming a nuisance on the adjacent soil. We finally feel pleased to state that, aa ' far as we conld find out from parties in Salem, the Oregon Hedge Company, is a legitimate and reliable institution and its officers have all the appearances of pertect gentlemen.
